An employment and labour law practice working with both employers and employees.
We provided customized legal solutions for both employers and employees. For the employer, we assist in compliance with the Employment Act and other relevant statutes. For the employee, we provide support in seeking fair terms, damages, compensation and reinstatement.
Employment and Labour Law Services
Our employment and labour law practice group provides expert advice to businesses and individuals on a wide range of employment issues.
Employment Contract Drafting and Review
Employment contracts form the backbone of every employer-employee relationship. We ensure that your employment agreements are detailed, legally sound, and protect both parties. Whether you are hiring a full-time, part-time workforce, remote workers or independent contractors, we can draft, review, and negotiate employment contracts for compliance with the Employment Act, 2007, and other applicable laws.
Employee Termination and Unfair Dismissal
We handle terminations on behalf of employers and provide advisory services on terminations for cause or redundancies. We also guide employees who believe they were wrongfully terminated to seek for legal remedies.
Workplace Discrimination and Harassment Claims
Our team helps employers implement anti-discrimination policies and handles cases of harassment or discrimination based on race, gender, disability, or any other protected category. We also represent employees seeking justice for unfair treatment at work.
Workplace Health and Safety Compliance
We assist businesses in complying with the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) by conducting audits, advising on policy formulation, and handling claims arising from workplace injuries or unsafe conditions.
Redundancy and Restructuring Management
We assist employers in managing the redundancy process, ensuring they meet statutory requirements.
Workplace Policies and Employee Handbooks
We help businesses draft comprehensive workplace policies that cover key areas such as leave entitlements, disciplinary procedures, anti-harassment, and more.
Employee Benefits and Compensation Claims
Employees are entitled to a range of benefits under the law, including paid leave, pensions, and health insurance. Our legal team helps employers navigate these obligations and ensure compliance with statutory requirements. We also assist employees in filing compensation claims for unpaid wages, benefits, and other entitlements, ensuring they receive what is legally due to them.
Trade Union Relations
Managing relationships with trade unions requires experience and knowledge of collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) and the Labour Relations Act. We help businesses negotiate and implement CBAs and handle disputes with unions to avoid industrial actions.
Immigration & Work Permits
For businesses employing expatriates, we provide advice on immigration law and assist with obtaining work permits. Compliance with immigration rules is essential to avoid penalties and business disruptions.
